elearning twits

Basically it is an evolving directory of Australian and New Zealand Twitter contributors who have an interest in education, specifically elearning. It is not intended to a Best of... (yechh!). Anyone with an interest in elearning is welcome here.

Why just Australasians? Twitter is international.
Firstly, let us recognise that the global aspect of Twitter is one of its greatest strengths. The chance to network with international educators is what draws many of us to Twitter. This wiki is merely intended to complement Twitter by offering a local context. For a fairly comprehensive international list, go to: http://c4lpt.co.uk/socialmedia/edutwitter.html

Feel free to send in any news regarding Australian and NZ conferences, meet-ups or initiatives at your schools that might benefit from national interest. I'll put it up here.

Can I suggest people who aren't on the list?
Absolutely. That's the idea. It's not an exclusive list. If someone's tweets relate to elearning or education in general, then they have a place here. Just send the details to elearningtwits@gmail.com or send me a direct message via twitter.com/elearningnews It's not an elite Who's Who - it's just a directory. For those new to Twitter, it could be a good place to start exploring.

Do I have to be on the list?
Most people on the list have either nominated themselves or were recommended for inclusion by one of their followers. If you would like to be removed from the list please email elearningtwits@gmail.com and you will be removed.

Where'd all the hyperlinks come from?
They are generated automagically from the RSS feed coming from your Twitter page - your most recent tweet will appear here. If you don't want this RSS feed to appear here, please email elearningtwits@gmail.com and it will be removed.

Do you have any Twitter-related resources?
Try this page. I imagine it will grow over time.
